Sounds like i am missing all the fun tonight. Stuck watching tv with the wife for now... race hard boys

Sounds like canabutter could be your answer to racing tonight

You aren't the only one drinking sturk

Weird, I will be a plus

Anyone know the daily races for next week?

 

[RZQSPEED]

While Sturko, SvenLast, Pig Gems and Pokey Jeff are all having fun in the Americas, I'm sitting here thinking like "If I had a US account...OH WAIT, MY WIRELESS CONNECTION MAY CAUSE LAG!" Which means that I had to rely on High Stakes Shifter and Space Dust Daddy to battle out back in Asia/Oceania...

It got me a win anyway, 4 positions gained, fastest lap, clean race bonus. First and Second were bumping each other off on the straight and my fastest lap is almost 2 sec slower than yours lol. Over half a sec faster than my quali time though, while I was not drafting anyone. I always seem to be faster in a race.

What a fun night of racing! @suprajef I was trying to pay attention, you seem to go wider than I do in a couple places. T3, T5 and the final turn. I almost spun out in final corner on lap 5 though, I was watching you and almost missed the brake point haha.

@sturk0167 Another great race man! The guy who finished behind you seems like good guy, I’ve raced with him a couple times this week and he’s been a class act every time, clean as they come.

There I qualified. Hmm now I'm in a different room B/S down to D/S starting 4th. Doh

I saw that you qualified before I entered the last race, I was wondering why you weren’t in there, I didn’t want to ruin your surprise again lol. The pool of SR S drivers must be pretty small considering how often we all end up actually racing together.

 

[suprajef]

I have no life, all 3 accounts are barely a plus now

Edit I svenno'd an a race, second to last to second, lost about 30 but was fun

 

[sturk0167]

I gotta say that it's some pretty bad race setup, when all the heavy hitters are entering race A, instead of C.

I learned at a young age that fwd sucks

Hate, hate, hate Integra at race C!!! So dumb.

Yes, might have something to do with my name...

First race of the night. @Sven Jurgens was in it starting 5 i think. I was lucky enough to be given the pole. Nothing special, a good race with an Argentinean, i believe, i am not the best with flags. I made one mistake on lap three and went from .5 up to .5 back and thats how we finished. Not sure what was going on in the pack i saw after the race that @Sven Jurgens had a red s...

Same here, my 3 main priorities when I got my first couple of vehicles growing up were manual transmission, rear wheel drive and 2 seater, the rest didn’t matter.

Funny enough though I do well with FWD cars in GTS for some reason.

 

[suprajef]

If you are still racing, you should see me next race

Edit, nope, game just kicked me out

 

[Pigems]

Naw I’m done for the night, my 4 coffee have worn off and I gotta get up in the morning. It was great racing with you tonight, thanks again for all the tips and help.

It was nice to finally get to race with you tonight as well @sturk0167

Second race has sturk starting 2, myself 7, and sven 11....

I mangaed to finish 4 right behind @sturk0167 shared a few chrome kisses i think at one point. Then i had to fight to hold fourth, and @Sven Jurgens was up to 8. Was a good race for me , although it certainly is bumpy mid pack.

I am still down for more races if you all are?

 

[sturk0167]

Drunk as 🤬. I can't believe I'm still getting top 5's.

 

[Dairyworker]

I got a couple more in me. Gotta get up for work in 6 hours....

The next one had @sturk0167 starting 2 and myself 7. I managed to fight threw the crowd to get 6. The racing is getting tight, still pretty clean though

That race went a bit wrong. First I got bumped from behind a couple times for the SR Downs, then I got caught out by an early braker in T1 lap 4 I think. It wasn't a hard hit, but he touched the side anyway and spun. I didn't get a penalty but waited for him to recover, dropping from 4th to 10th. Oh well, still got the fastest lap.

The race after I was back in the fast room, clean race bonus and a sweet pass on the straight.

Fun race.

I'll try one more, although the canabutter is getting to my head.

 

[suprajef]

I have joined every race since and have not recognized anyone

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Hmm I'm in the slow room, I'll go walk the dog and roll the dice again for the next race. Oh too slow, already in the lobby, starting 8th. The slow room is getting faster as well.

And dirtier, 8th to 4th to 10th to 8th.

 

[Dairyworker]

Second to last race of the night for me. I see @suprajef so i know i wont be fighting for the win lol

Good race for me, it really is getting tight out there though.. i managed to go from 6 to 4 and got a clean race.

It was nice actually racing with the person ahead of me. I couldn't get around him

 

[sturk0167]

I got knocked down to low S. Easy win. I should try to stay here.

Race B. Started 8th finished 8th. I got as high as 4th and then, the car felt like tyre wear was instantly on. I was driving just as I was from the start and on lap 3, the car was nowhere.

The car was pushing, off-throttle.
Back went out while I was setting up for the right-hander at the back straight. Went off and lost 5 places. An R 8 went off and I got 8th.

Closed up to the back of 7th place , but last lap and race over. Weird.

Race A. The player that finished 2nd, bumped the player fighting for that position. Wasn't necessary.
Even though I was closing on them, due to them driving side by side for the whole race, it was fair until that point.

(insert Brian L. Spilner one liner here)

 

[sturk0167]

@suprajef What happened? You flew off into the desert?

 

[Groundfish]

I’ve been enjoying the heck out of race B. I’ve done several tonight, and finally called it quits with the last race which was the only one where I touched another car who tapped me under braking t1.
It’s been fun but I think it’s time for me to kiss race B goodbye.
What’s neat is I stayed 99 the whole time, I didn’t get a single podium, but the racing was good. I was generally starting around 6-8 and collected some dr also from some a guys going off track.
I made a couple overtakes, and conceded a few. Twice I’ve not gone defensive on a Porsche in my slipstream in last chicane, and both times they got by QUICK. Some guys are very good with that car.
I have maxed out my qual. Going towards the rear on bb garnished another tenth and that’s it. My optimal got down to 57.5 so that’s neat. My goal was to break 58 by weeks end and I managed albeit barely.
I tried the Stang and it’s a blast to drive, but I put my available time into b race this week.
Good luck out there!

Last race of the night had @sturk0167 and @suprajef up near the front i started 6. The race was chaos, i was just trying to keep it together really, lots of minor contact but no real hits. I got a clean race somehow and clawed my way to 4 in the end.
